My BD and I share our son 50/50. Only verbal agreement. We’ve always had a good coparenting relationship so I never thought involving the courts was necessary. Yesterday my BD picked up our 5 year old son once he got off work. My son already knows fridays are switch days and yesterday he didn’t wanna go. When his dad got to my house, our son started crying and standing firm he didn’t wanna leave. His dad started to get impatient and frustrated. I noticed his anger go up the more our son refused to get in the car or put on his shoes. BD then popped him on the butt twice. I didn’t get in the middle because I also didn’t wanna undermine him as a parent. That obviously didn’t work so his dad plu

Hi! I’m super new to the LS and keep getting cold feet. I have met guys online and just avoid setting dates to meet up. I get this overwhelming feeling of nervousness and anxiety. How can I overcome this and just do it??? I REALLY want to experience it, but my nerves won’t let me. Any advice, ladies?

Men- are y’all nervous too when you meet up with the wives?

So, I’ve been seeing this a lot. People prefer restaurants to pay their servers minimum wage (or livable wage) vs depending on customers’ tips. I understand that. Owners should pay their staff, not the customers. BUT I have two points, and y’all tell me if I’m looking at this all wrong…. 1) don’t customers pay for the restaurant? Like in actuality their business is what’s keeping the entire restaurant and their team running. 2) oftentimes the waitstaff ends up making wayyy more hourly than minimum wage. Like some nights I can make $40-60 an hour ($200-300 in tips in 5 hours). Why would we want to lower what we make?

Am I looking at this wrong?

I work at an upscale-ish restaurant for the first time and most people who come in are nice but I have noticed a difference with others. They treat you like “the help.” I mean obviously we are there to serve them, but dismissing you with hand gestures, unwilling to stop a conversation with their pal when I walk up to the table, being intolerable of a small mess up. I mean, most people I serve understand we’re just human and make mistakes. I always stride to provide the best dining experience I can possibly provide, and some things are out of my control (like BOH mess-ups) but somehow these “noses in the air” type of crowd make me feel so worthless. How do I keep their behavior from getting t

Hi! I’m new here and have dashed years back, but am considering dashing again. I’m worried and unsure how much I will make. I’m sure every area is different. If you don’t mind sharing, would you be able to let me know where you dash and how much you make in how many hours? What do you love most about dashing and find most beneficial?

Thanks in advance to those who respond and help me!

I served for a couple of years and loved it, but unfortunately ended up at a restaurant where my hours were drastically cut. I quit and got a job at a law firm working your normal 8-5 Monday-Friday schedule. I have a great boss and benefits. My issue is I can’t bring myself to love what I do like I did when I was serving. Serving gave me an adrenaline like no other. This job at the firm can be really stressful and I normally take it home with me. I am thinking about quitting and going back. I miss the flexibility in my schedule and the adrenaline but I have a more stable income at the firm. Idk what to do!

My bf (33M) and I (28F) have been dating for four months. The more I’m around him the more I realize things that I don’t necessarily care for, but I need to know if it’s just be being too judgmental and nitpicky or if these traits I’m about to mention are actual red flags. He and I met at our serving jobs and he was REALLY intense with his feelings for me. The first week of me showing interest, he was instantly overbearing. Showed up to work with gifts and focused less and less on his job during work hours and more and more on me. It became obvious, even to a blind man, at work, how into me he was. At the time, I was so overwhelmed by his passion that I denied him on multiple occasions until

Hello fellow servers! I need advice. I have been serving for a few months. At my first serving job, we had trays, but not the LARGE trays. I’m currently working somewhere else where they have the large trays that can carry up to five entrees. These trays have been so difficult for me since they are extremely heavy (for me). Does anyone have any advice on a good and safe way to carry these without dropping it and also grabbing the stand at the same time???
